Criminal defence covers the advice and representation given to someone charged with a crime, from the moment of arrest through police interview to court. A solicitor defends the client, reviews evidence, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, and represents them in magistrates’ courts, the Crown Court, or on appeal. They prepare witnesses, challenge disclosure, draft legal submissions, and seek bail, sentence reductions, or acquittals based on the law and the facts.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The solicitor protects the client’s position in serious decisions, deadlines, and potential penalties, such as custody or community orders. They work to ensure lawful processes are followed, preserve the client’s rights, and minimise potential harm while advancing the strongest available defence.

Ryan KhairaStephen Scully

Tagged solicitors Ryan Khaira and Stephen Scully

After being charged with criminal damage to a police station I was very close to pleading guilty until the team effort at Wade Solicitors turned the case around with their expert knowledge of Human Rights Law and Protesting, and after one mis-trial, I was found not guilty after a full trial. I felt as if I was being represented by the best lawyers that money could buy, yet they got legal aid for me. Restored my faith in the criminal justice system.

While Solmaz was generally helpful, there were moments of confusion regarding specific aspects of the case that she clarified.

Beth Vaughan

Tagged solicitor Beth Vaughan

I cannot recommend Beth Vaughan at Albin & co highly enough. From the moment I first contacted their office, they demonstrated nothing but professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to justice. I was facing a serious criminal charge that could have changed the course of my life – but thanks to Beth and her team's incredible legal acumen, the case was successfully dismissed. Throughout the entire process, they were clear, reassuring, and always one step ahead. They took the time to explain every detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt supported and informed at every stage. Their ability to build a strong defence, challenge the prosecution's case, and present the facts with precision and confidence was truly outstanding. What impressed me most was their unwavering dedication – they went above and beyond to fight for the best possible outcome, and I genuinely believe I couldn’t have been in better hands. Thanks to Beth I now have my freedom, peace of mind, and a second chance. If you're in need of someone who will fight for you with skill, integrity, and determination, look no further.

John Stokes

Tagged solicitor John Stokes

John Stokes seems to take on a lot of the criminal side of things, backed up by the informative receptionists/secretaries. Although constantly busy, he will usually find the time to address any issues you may have, very professional, experienced and quite possibly socialist, which as a defence lawyer I personally find reassuring. The company readily offers legal aid, whereas other solicitors won`t. I got a result that was as much as could`ve been expected, very happy.

Lucy Payne

Tagged solicitor Lucy Payne

Bhumika Parmar (Director & Solicitor) Mrs Harpreet Sanghera (Solicitor) Lucy Payne (Jnr Paralegal) BP Legal is a well-experienced legal team. My case was administered within three weeks of attending the court with a positive outcome. All three named were very client-focused and were courteous. They explained my case well before the court appointment, at the hearing and after the client support. They have competitive costs and are a very reliable legal firm. Thank you so much.
